Natascha Petersmann

    Some time ago Natascha Pertsmann decided to swim 7,4 kilometers to raise money for an HIV/AIDS charity, despite a run-in with a shark and near-hypothermia. She is one of not too many women in the sport to perform radical forward looping as well as competitive neck-to-neck racing. She holds the African speed record (33,13 knots) and impressed as a model for Sports Illustrated South Africa.
